Kelly, Louis, and Ruby

Our baby girl arrived 8 weeks early on July 7th, 2008 weighing just 3 pounds 3 ounces. After 33 long days in the NICU, Ruby finally came home with us and the fun began. We are one blessed family.

In good company

We had such a lovely weekend! Friday I went to my company picnic at De Anza Cove. I got to say hello to all of my coworkers who I had not seen since my abrupt departure. And the weather was just beautiful! I haven't gotten much sunlight in the last 6 weeks, so I spent most of my time sitting under the giant tree and just enjoying being outside and catching up with people. I also got to see lots of other babies, who all seemed giant compared to my Ruby =).

Louis's brother Larry and his wife Amy also came to town to meet their newest niece. His younger brothers were here the week she was born, so it was great to finally have some of Louis's side of the family here again! Ruby also got visits from our friend Scotty, my Dad, and Denise. Since for now we're pretty much tied to the house, it was great to have our friends and family here to keep us company. And I know Ruby loves seeing them all too!

Louis goes back to work tomorrow, back to real life. I think I'll be bugging my girlfriends that are home as well. I have one friend who shared my due date who will be having her little one soon. Another who I work with who is also home on maternity leave. And yet another who is pregnant with twin boys and is due in November! It's nice to know that I have friends who I can relate too. I've really looked forward to having the opportunity to stay home with Ruby while I can. I know it will be hard, but I also know how much I'll love it and how rewarding it will be. I'm sure time will fly, so I will try to savor every moment!

Here are some pictures from our weekend, have a good week everyone...











How can you not love this face??
